How many intersections can you cram in one feminist?

About the Author

How many intersections can you cram in one feminist? Trans, queer, leather girl, poly, sex-positive, survivor, social anarchist, and of course, atheist. Siobhan works for a social services resource when she’s not blasting politicians for doing… well, you know. She’s probably made of 70% snark and thinks the Canadian NDP are “too capitalist.” Able-bodied, (probably) endosex, and white are her hopefully checked privileges.

Siobhan’s meatspace profile includes presentations at Edmonton’s BECA conference and regular appearances for the Alberta Sex Positive Education Community Centre. Her written work can also be found at The Establishment.

Decreasing world suck is the primary goal. Side effects may include bruising, gibbering, high fever, cracked desks, or cracked heads. Siobhan is not for everyone, consult your doctor before use.

I’m sure all the freeze peachers are right around the corner

Maybe all those people so heavily against censorship can actually pay attention to actual censorship instead of admonishing trans folk for not wanting to debate scientifically illiterate people who issue a ceaseless stream of threats:

Academic censorship is nothing new — especially for scholars of color — but in Donald Trump’s America, the issue has taken on new and frightening dimensions. Trump’s emboldened base, en masse, has been attacking leftist educators with renewed vigor since his election, and universities across the country have wasted no time caving to alt-right (read: white supremacist) pressure to discipline professors, freedom of speech/academic freedom be damned. In a peculiar twist of logic, members of the alt-right have positioned themselves as victims of discrimination, and as such, have demanded that universities take action to “protect” them.

Damn, that is seriously fucked up! That he was forcefully taken for a psychiatric evaluation and then held hostage by the “investigation” by the university for so long that he wasn’t eligible to teach the following semester is all kinds of wrong. And he is a white guy! Just thinking what might have happened to a person of color in the same situation gives me chills. It is way past time to quit handling the racist authoritarian fuckwits with kid gloves. The movie “Network” comes to mind.
